“Grace and Mercy”
Categories: Minister's CornerDo you remember the heart necklace that is made up of two separate pieces that fit together and worn by those in love? Maybe you gave one or received one that represents a commitment that binds two hearts so they beat as one. ‘
God created His own necklace that adorns His graceful neck and is shared with those who obediently respond to His Son.
Grace and Mercy are two sides that make up a complete HEART for the HEART NECKLACE that is made possible by Jesus Christ our Savior. God says, “I LOVE YOU!” with this beautiful necklace.
Grace is receiving what we do not deserve. Mercy is not receiving what we deserve. These compliment one another to give us the greatest love ever known, SALVATION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!
[4] But God, who is rich in MERCY, because of His GREAT LOVE with which He loved us, [5] even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by GRACE you have been saved), [6] and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, [7] that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. [8] For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of ayourselves; it is the gift of God, [9] not of works, lest anyone should boast. [10] For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. - Ephesians 2:4-10
